The Aam Aadmi Party AAP on Monday claimed that the Agnipath scheme will not only make the future of recruits uncertain but also "compromise" with India's security, and exhorted the protesters to shun violence and prepare a plan to sustain the "movement" against the new military recruitment plan.
Addressing a press conference, Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson Sanjay Singh asserted that the Narendra Modi Government will have to eventually withdraw the scheme if the protest against it continues in a democratic manner sans violence.
The AAP has already taken to the streets to protest the new military recruitment scheme and will also "firmly" raise the issue in Parliament during the upcoming Monsoon Session, he added.
"I want to tell the youth that you prepare a plan to sustain your movement for a longer period so that pressure is built on the (Union) Government.
This movement will not continue for long through violence," AAP MP said. Extending the support of his party, Singh advised the agitators to follow a democratic way of holding protests so that "the (Union) government and the BJP do not get an opportunity to indulge in propaganda against you"."We are already protesting the scheme on the streets. As soon as the Parliament session begins, we will firmly raise this issue there also. The government will have to withdraw this scheme, nothing less than that will be acceptable," he said.
